Hello everyone!
And welcome to Don's Brazilian Adventure Page!
            As many of you may know (and many of you don't) I started a little thing a while back where I chronicle my wacky adventures abroad - to keep you informed and to keep me feeling a little bit more at home.
           While I'm certainly not claiming to have any corner on the market when it comes to a travel journal it seems to have caught on  - as witnessed by the Drewster & his excellent photo journal of his many sojourns out West and to Florida - and - need I even mention the thoroughly enjoyable "Bill's Irish Chronicles©®" by our own Bill "have you not seen my a$$,then?" Scanga (AKA Captain Scangaroo)...?  OK then, I'll not mention it.
 

    Anyway, let's get to it shall we? Here I sit in my room in "L' Hotel" in São Paulo, Brazil - about 3800 miles from sunny Pittsburgh.  How did I get here?  Well - glad you asked..

The Journey - Part I:
    Cleveland to Newark (New Jersey).....
 

    Then prepare for the fun that is:
